Impending...

So all the talk is of this upcoming snowstorm, which is nature's way of saying, "No, but seriously."  The last two threats of winter weather have been absolute duds - and yet we're still calling off school occasionally, just in case.  The ease that Forsyth County called off some of the later days last week was interesting, which makes me believe they wanted to try their online school lessons.  These have been easy for Madison, although we have to trudge through with her, becoming essentially a teacher and cheerleader to get things done.  The teacher part is for the questions she has about grammar or science or math.  The cheerleader is that extra push to actually finish the assignment.

Tomorrow, we'll do the online school thing again.  Tomorrow, school is cancelled.  The situation is supposed to be like a year ago, when so many cars got stuck on various freeways because of snow and ice.  We'll find out, but the entire state is treating this situation as if Godzilla were coming.  Governmental figures are acting all serious, while most people who don't have to hide behind the political faces are giddy with excitement at the prospect of building a snowman in their front yard.  I fall into that latter category.  I don't mind setting up for church on Wednesday night, actually.  We missed one last week because of snow, so I think we're good there.  Everyone got their night off, and now it's time to get back to work.  But the forecast says otherwise, and it appears as if we'll be staying home tomorrow night too.  With that in mind, Daddy got 18X15 pieces of wood for the fireplace, just in case the power goes out.  Mommy did a lot of shopping today too - after Madison and Daddy went to piano, we met Mommy at Aldi's and helped her load things up.

Madison is going to a place called "Get Air" for Winter Wonderland.  That's the fun day that Mrs. Pam sets up for her piano students, the day she's been giving out clues for the last few weeks.  This place has a lot of trampolines and obstacle courses, so it looks like it will be fun for Madison and her friends.  That's actually coming up soon, so I'll post some pictures of the place when I have a chance.

Tonight we had Easter production practice.  This was pretty much a first meeting for the cast.  We announced a few parts, but we're still struggling a bit with the development of the script.  Not quite there yet, and it weighs heavily on me right now.  Easter is about a month away.

And then there was Agent Carter's finale tonight.  That was a great show, one that will probably continue next year - but this one ended in a big way.  The surprise appearance of a super villain at the end just added to the awesome factor.

So tomorrow we'll find out about the snow.  This seems to be for real this time, but despite all the preparations for Godzilla, I think on the whole we're all still in that general belief system that most Georgia sports teams have when thinking their team might win the championship:  "I'll believe it when I see it!"
